Is it an offence to perfom in the streets?

you guys ever noticed a busker along the main orcahrd road? he palys guitar and then has some kinda thing on his foot so as he taps his foot the instrument makes a "clock" sound and he has a harmonica too..all at the same time...o and yeah he ony has 1 arm..damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i mean his fretting hand is ok...but his picking hand is amputated up till the elbow. sad man.

but i really admire his talent..btw hes an ang mor. surely u must have seen him.

 

[jimz]

Yes! The blind jazz shredder was really good and I think he still play at Centrepoint.

 

[Black_Death]

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

^^ Bushit, are you the proprietor of GasHaus?

And haha! Yeah that's the bugger!

I've seen him near Tampines interchange. So entertaining. The guy who plays guitar/saxaphone near tampines mrt is cool as well. Oh yah, he also sings.

There's also an Ah Pek near Tampines MRT who play some chinese instrument and he sings too! :evil:

 

[khai_stereotype]

i think the 'busker' in animal slipppers is cute.
hahaha. in a lame way. haha

Some I would look upon as incredibly worthy of respect, like that blind jazz shredder who would play near the taxi stand at Centrepoint, but he's also disappeared to God-knows-where :?

Jazz shredder? I can figure out what he's playing is jazz...but I don't think that's shredding?

 

[blueprintstudios]

hmm interesting thread. talking about buskers I miss the ah pek playing the harmonica and marching while juggling balls with one hand.

the lame one would be I saw this weird angmoh guy who's dressed up as some kinda priest, with a cheap drum-kick pedal stepping on at every minute to wack a chinese "gong" on the floor. waiting for money to roll into his bucket....

 

[jimz]

The Ah Pek at Tampines MRT plays the Er-Hu and sings although he seems like "Bo Geh" but it matches his Er-Hu well. He is one of my fave buskers. Haha. Maybe one day can ask all the buskers to jam together and see what new genre will come out. :lol:

 

[blueprintstudios]

ah yes! the erhu ahpek, his stage presence freaking happening haha. he'd groove his head to his singing one.

 

[GrimBrody]

there was one japanese busker i saw at tampines mrt the other day during the asian beats semis.

didge, bells on his feet and other percussive paraphernalia..

spiritually uplifting

Hmm.

I guess my definition of shredding is different from yours.

But back to thread...

 

[df]
